Well they do have a lot of money which will give them the best talent but playing against them I think it will make us better. Sure we may not beat them right away but we get footage on them every year against our guys and we can figure them out. WE had no idea what to expect and a new defensive scheme with too much inexperience against their stud recruits tonight but we still could have made it a shoot out ard gets that ball and we don't drop that td pass and it would have put more pressure on them and score would have been much closer.

The defensive teams we had the past two years would have owned the aggies last night. And Shaw and Ellington as well. While they were considerably better than us last night, I don't think that game was indicative of the teams we've been able to field in the past or hopefully in the future.

But what would they have done if we'd had our 2012 team?

I don't think you guys are going to have trouble, you just have a young defensive squad. They will get better.

I also don't think Sumlin will leave. He got offered the Eagles job and turned them down already. An NFL job would require much more time, and he and his wife seem to be quite comfortable in College Station. Money can only make you so happy, and I think he'd rather coach college football and live in a smaller college town than uproot and move to the NFL and spend more time away from his family. He's already making $5 million a year, so what could another $3-4 million a year buy him that he can't already get? With SECN money, we'd also be able to offer an even more competitive salary.

If you can't beat them join them (at least in recruiting). We need to set up shop in Texas and make a big push to recruit there. Screw geography and the financial requirements. Those boys were bigger, faster, stronger, etc.
